I know everything beyond your window is likely a wash of winter’s best efforts right now, but the color will find its way back soon.

Less than a month now ’til The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary sashays its way into the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. I can certainly count the ways that I love this exhibition, but counting the days might be a better pastime.

Kodai Nakazawa’s tools are as integral to his work as the know-how he puts behind them. Last week, I teased his efforts in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections as the return of a Garden favorite. And those who chimed in were right—Kiku is coming! We’ll have more for you in the coming weeks as we draw nearer to this meticulously prepared Japanese chrysanthemum exhibition.
If you appreciate the implements of a specialized artform as much as I do, you’ll understand why these leaf cutters—with their subtle dimensional differences—are so fascinating.

With Marc Hachadourian heading up a course on dividing and repotting orchids this morning, I thought I’d show you some of his handiwork. He’s responsible for keeping our exhibitions green and thriving, and as the Manager of the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, that’s something he has no trouble with–the Orchid Show being no exception.

Tiny tropical treats flourish in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, primped and preened as they wait for their moment to take over the Conservatory.
